JACK YATES HIGH: The Pride is Back on Scott Street; Third Ward
Jack Yates is back.
Under the leadership of Coach James Lewis, the Lions are building on an impressive 11-1 season that included an undefeated run through district play. But as spring football unfolds, one word is driving this team: Finish.
Last year, Yates saw its playoff run end early after running out of steam in the second round. This season, the mission is clear — go further.
The program is also seeing strong alignment from top to bottom, led by principal Stephanie Square, a proud Yates alum and former four-sport athlete. That unity is helping restore a powerful sense of pride throughout the school.
With former Lions returning to pour into the next generation and give back to the Third Ward, the energy around Yates is undeniable.
VYPE stopped by for a Spring Tour visit — and the message is loud and clear: the Lions are hungry for more.
